by Wendy Coxmanky, Bugle crime reporter. The enigmatic character who has come to be known as 'Brampton Man' has made another dramatic appearance. Last Tuesday morning Mrs. Enid Spangle (82) from Dark Passage, Brampton, had just paid at the counter in Muffs Hypermart when, she told us: "The scum behind the counter short-changed me by five pence for my usual packet of BloodBuster wall cleaning powder. A person nearby whipped off his raincoat and said: 'Stand aside, I'm Brampton Man'. He gave the assistant a right pasting, took five pence out of the till and gave it to me saying: 'That's the only way to deal with misdeeds like this, duck', and quick as a flash he was gone, and I'm 85 you know. He was a real gentleman." Ginger haired trainee manager Gordon Finchbinder is still recovering in hospital but was unavailable for comment. The image shown below is taken from CCTV footage of Muffs Hypermart. If you recognise anyone or have any information about this crime, please contact the police.

On the last occasion a bus driver lost an ear and was beaten unconscious after short-changing another pensioner by tuppence, Mrs. Nellie Clapshot (88) of Umbridge Terrace, who told the Bugle: "I'd give 'im one if I were ten year younger - 'e can rummage in my drawers anytime 'e likes." Police have issued this artist's impression (below) of 'Brampton Man' and are appealing for witnesses to come forward. *****  (artist's impression) |
